The r. r. commission has recently de-
cided case brought against the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul for disregarding
the provisions of the Inter State Com
merce law. Never was there such farce
as this law has turned out to be. The
prohibition upon the issuance of passes
has prevented those from receiving them
from whom no harm could come through
acceptance. But legislative, executive
and administrative officers, those who
should not receive passes are still sup
piled.

The czar's visit to Berlin will probab-
~ lead to more friendly relations be-
tween Germany and Russia. Bismarck
broke through all diplomatic forms and
had plain frank talk with the car, tel
ling him the difficulties which stood in
the way Of pacific relations between the
powers. 1t hardly seems probable that
the car will modify his government to
meet the views Of Bismarck, but that
seems to be the conclusion of those who
pretend to be informed on the subject.
